After the Pacific Railroads.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The senate
proceeded to the discussion of the house
joint resolution for an investigation of the
books of the Pacific railroads, with the
senate amendment in the nature of SUBJ
stitute thereto. A discussion ensued. Mr..
Mcpherson commented on what he thought
the investigation would reveal. Branch
lines of the Union Pacific were being run
at the expense of the main line and he
predicted that the investigation would dis
close a bigger Credit Mobilier than had
existed in the original enterprise. He
hoped therefore that the fourth section
would not be stricken out.
Vance spoke of the Union Pacific rail-
road as being conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity. It has sought to get rid
of the bad odor attached to it by electing
Mr.. Adams as its president; it had sought
for him in the mugwumpean attitudes af-
ter George William Curtis and Carl Schurz
were supposed to be sitting on a golden
cloldz with harps in their hands singing
songsof purity concerning the new politi-
cal scenes; but he had read in Chicago
newspaper Of Mr.. Adams conduct in ref
erenee to certain rolling mills and as to
charging four times the regular freight SO

him think of the negro's song, and that

CHICAGO. February 26.-A Times spe-
eial from Fargo, Dakota, says: 1t is
learned from a reliable source that three
of the great railroad building firms have
combined and taken a contract to build for
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway 700 miles of road between Mouse
river, in northern Dakota, and Great Falls,
Montana. From Great Falls the road con-
tinues as far south as Helena, on the Mon
tana Central. The construction is to be
pushed as few lines ever have been. Fifty
nousand men, i they can be had, will be
at to work as soon as spring opens. It
is claimed that this line will be in opera
ton before next fall from St. Paul to Hell
ena and will have branches to Butte and
all leading Montana points, competing
with the Northern Pacific. 1t will have
the advantage of the latter in grades, none
exceeding forty feet to the mile.

HELENA, March 1.-George Randolph,
city attorney and ex-oficio city clerk, was
found in his room, 35 Clarendon hotel,
Butte, on the 10th, dead. The fact that he
took his own life is not doubted. The
theory advanced by those most dear to
him is that be was disappointed in love,
which excited dissipation and of late he
INDUCED to excess. 1t is supposed he
took morphine. He was a direct descen-
dant Of the great Randolph family of rev.
olutionary fame; was well known and
highly esteemed in Helena. The Office
mentioned seems to be fated. one of the
previous ineumbents having met the same
fate.

Three days of labor for man and team,
$500 expenses and an unpaid debt. Now
these are facts, and if the people of Fort
Benton knew of the toll, the expense and
time expended on load of wood we are
| sure they would be willing to pay at least
such price as would give a teamster
wages.
There are scores of teams in this neighbor-
hood and on upper Highwood, too, that
go light TO Benton many times year that
otherwise would draw wood, but for the
reason that che price received is never in
Proportiou to the cost of getting the fuel,
and furthermore when wood will sell for
enough to pay wages there is enough
wood in these two localities TO supply the
demand and enough laborers to draw it in
such quantities as will always insure a
supply under all circumstances.
Corners in anything are to be deplored,
but so long as those on whom we are de-
pendent for the food we eat make us dance
to the tune of double rates for the neces-
saries of life when the supply is snort,
just SO long will little-eouled men who are
ready to deliver wood at rates that are not
extortionafe, at the time of the year when
everyone should secure supply, continue
to take advantage Of the predicament you
find yourselves in now. At present it is
utterly impossible to yet to the timber and

COUNCIL.

HELENA February 28.-A petition was
presented from citizens of Butte asking
protection for game and fish.
Bills were introduced as follows:
BY Rickards-C. B. 81. for the protec-
tiof. Of game and fish. It gives the county
commissioners the power to employ detec-
tives at $75 per month while employed to
watch the streams.
By Collins-C. B. 55, to amend the law
relating to recorders books.

lines of Jefferson county.

tions, passed.
HOUSE.
When Ii. B. 70, for the creation of Te-
ton county, was reported, Taylor endeav-
ored to have it engrossed for third read
ing and thus advance it ahead of a large
number of bills on general orders This
was opposed by Kanouse, who announced
himself as opposed to the bill and would
not consent to such action, so the motion
place on general orders. with twenty-six
bills ahead of it. The people of Choteau
county have a warm friend in Mr.. Ka-
mouse, who will oppose any division
scheme not desired and endorsed by ma
jority of the citizens. Mr.. Kanouse is a
taxpayer in Choteau county, and he con-
siders such schemes premature and entire
~ uncalled tor under the present condi-
tions. Various other members are opposed
to taking any further action in county
division matters, and it is not at all likely
that Mr.. Taylor will succeed in putting
his bill through the house.
FL. B. 80, the fee bill, was reported from
the committee amended with the recon-
mendation that it pass. It has been de-
cided to allow the bill to go into effect at
the expiration Of the terms of the present
officers.
Bills were introduced as follows:
By Armstrong-H. B. 88, 10 amend
sections $50 and 594 Of chap. %, 9Th diyi-
sion, revised statutes. This bill is intend
ed to reduce the present fees of sheriffs
and county clerks, and to reduce the mile
age from so to 25 cents for transporting
prisoners and other mileage from 40 to
10 cents, and all other fees varying from
l5 to 40 per cent reduction; also Ell. B. SO,
providing that a single man, unless the
head of family, shall have no personal
property exempt from attachment for
debt, nor is any property exempt from

chanic's lien.

whole on Ell. B. so, the fee BILL The dis
cussion was long and interesting The
points raised were, does it conflict with
the restriction act, and can it be made to

decision Of the house seems to be that it
shall become law. It is conceded by all
the members that the present salary law
should be done away with, and ARM
